I just got a great SM25 off Craigslist but the castors are rusted and the guy who had it before didn’t fully thread them so they are bent to hell. I saw a picture of someone using large off-road rubber castors and was wondering if anyone on here had a link as this would make wheeling it over my pavers a lot easier. Thanks in advance for all your guys help!

Cookshack sells replacement castors. I do not know the thread size so cannot recommend any off the shelf castors.
Thanks I was trying to avoid the CS brand as they don’t do great over the pavers
Years ago I got 3 inch casters for my Amerique at Lowes. As I recall, the thread size was 5/16 - 18. You can check with CS for the 025, or search here for threads mentioning casters. Or, you could take one of the old casters to the store to compare thread size. Good luck.

I purchased the 3 inch castes from CS for my 066 when they were offered and they work well on my patio with is a mix of concrete and pavers. Admittedly something in the 5 inch range would be perfect but I have been more than satisfied with the 3 inch.
I agree larger casters are generally better. However, my 066 is mounted on top of the CS storage cabinet, and even though it is made of stainless steel, it is comparatively lightweight, which makes the assembly seem a bit topheavy, and I worry about tipping it over even on my 3 inch casters. I wouldn't want to raise it any higher.
